so sleepy!

last night i got home from work around seven o'clock. i was tired. my lovely husband tg said, go to bed! so i did. i woke up a couple of times - once to watch fireworks at ten-thirty, once at half-past-six when tg was getting up to go to work - but other than that, slept through till eight o'clock this morning. thirteen hours. make it twelve when you subtract the brief moments when i opened my eyes. yikes! how am i going to get anything done if i'm never awake?

in other, yuckier news, the midwives' collective called yesterday to say that no one is available. i had no idea it would be so difficult to find a midwife so early - i mean, if i had a 28-day cycle like everyone else, i would only be four days late at this point! and i called over a week ago! does everyone in this town have a 22-day cycle or something? yikes! anyway, the woman who called gave me the numbers of a bunch of other places to call, and i'm still waiting to hear back from seventh generation, so knock wood i don't have to panic yet. but it was still a pretty terrible feeling to think that despite starting to look for a midwife two days after i found out i was pregnant, i may have to do without!
